Talk:Arctic Region Supercomputing Center

Northernmost cluster?
I've heard that this is the northernmost supercomputer cluster in the world. Is that true? Fairbanks is pretty 'north' (I live in California). -- hello, i'm a member  |  talk to me!  11:00, 2 August 2007 (UTC)

ARSC publications
The information that "

The center formerly produced a newsletter, Currents, and an annual magazine, Challenges in Science and Engineering." has now been removed twice -- once by an IP editor with no stated reason, once by a claimed employee of the ASRC, who stated that he was under orders to do so from the director of the ASRC. I have no idea why the ASRC wants to censor this information so badly that orders are coming from the top to cover it up. It is factual information; one can find an issue of the newsletter as a PDF here, and can find mention of the magazine here, among other places, and can see an issue online here... volume 8 #1, so it seems to have run a fair while. Can anyone suggest a valid reason why this information should not be included? At the moment, the article seems focused almost solely on the current situation of the facility, which might be fine for their webpage but is insufficient for a Wikipedia page, which shold have a sense of history. --Nat Gertler (talk) 22:42, 27 October 2011 (UTC)

I have some information of ARSC history, will provide this update soon. ARSC recently (like only a few months ago), went under a huge budget reduction form department of defence and that is what caused the closure of their communications department. I think it will be worthwile to put the information of their former newsletters in their history description. I can do that when I will be writing a history section for this article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 137.229.78.185 (talk) 22:58, 27 October 2011 (UTC)

Fish Addition
Does anyone want to write a section on the addition of Fish to the ARSC systems? Sean Egan (talk) 21:12, 17 January 2013 (UTC)

ARSC hosted many computers which were listed as among the Top 500 most powerful in the world
I added a large number of references to resolve the one source and primary source issues the document was marked with. More than half of the new references are Top 500 references which is a lot of what ARSC was notable for. LAMurakami (talk) 08:38, 7 July 2019 (UTC)

Physical installation
ARSC was never in the Elvey building, as the photo and caption indicates. It was located in the Butrovich building. Tuesdave (talk) 17:23, 18 July 2024 (UTC)
